Due to the conditions of the branch, they usually don't allow
the six axles north of Lansdale, but with CSX 6160 sidelined with air problems,
B738 got permission to run up to Telford and back with the big units. The
return is pictured here just after passing the summit in Souderton with
ex-Conrail SD40-2's 8865 (aka "Ol' Blue Nose"), the former CR
6521, leading ...

and CSX 8867, the former CR 6523, trailing.

Crossing Bergey Road and passing the former Reading Railroad
signal at Milepost QAJ 34.1, which translates to 34.1 miles from Reading
Terminal.

Trailing was CSX GP38-2 2813, the former CR 8279.

As they rolled into Hatfield, the sun popped out and they
stopped and used 2813 to pick up a few cars from the Hatfield Warehouse
siding before continuing home. Hard to believe the track in the foreground
in this and the previous two pictures was once the Reading Company's Bethlehem
Branch southbound main (currently out of service between Schwab Road and
north of Township Line Road).
